    More than 300 Flood traditions from all over North and South America are included, organized by regions beginning in Canada and proceeding southward.

    In Echoes of Ararat, author Nick Liguori contends that oral traditions of the Flood—and the survival of the few inside the floating Ark—are even more prevalent than previously thought, and they powerfully confirm the truth of the Genesis account. This unprecedented work carefully documents hundreds of native traditions of the Flood—as well as the Tower of Babel and the Garden of Eden—from the tribes of North and South America. Learn what the Cherokee, Lakota, Iroquois, Cheyenne, Inuit, Inca, Aztec, Guaraní, and countless other tribes claimed about the early history of the world. Liguori also shares many evidences for the historical reliability of Genesis, and shows that the Genesis Flood account is not dependent on the Epic of Gilgamesh or other Near-Eastern texts, as skeptics claim. Rather, its author Moses had access to ancient records passed down by the early Patriarchs, including Joseph, Jacob, Abraham, and even Noah himself.

    Review by Brittany
    So many people, including Christians, don't have a truly Biblical worldview because they gloss over much of Genesis. A lot of intense world history is packed into the first few chapters of the Bible! This book helps shed light on the connection of hundreds of global flood traditions, as well as the origins and dispersion of mankind. Centuries out, it sounds like a crazy game of telephone, but several stark and common threads are woven through them all. Must-read!
    Impressive Collection of Genesis Stories!
    Review by Theresa
    I really enjoyed this collection of flood legends from North and South America, beginning with an overview of the account from Genesis. There are also stories of other Genesis accounts like the Tower of Babel and the Garden of Eden included. The details of the accounts vary quite a bit, but I can’t believe there are so many stories with similarities. What surprised me most was finding flood legends from the Native Americans in my hometown, as well as in the state we live now! It seems practically every tribe has their own story!

    This is an amazing resource! I approached this reading already believing in a worldwide flood, but these stories have taken my faith to a new level of astonishment at God’s mighty declaration of power!
    Wow!
    Review by Yulia
    I had no idea that there are so many accounts of the Great Flood. I was surprised to learn it. I still have long ways to read all of them, but this book is amazing. The authors put a lot of work and research in writing this book. Wow!!!
    Expand your understanding of the flood of the Bible's echoes in cultlural history!
    Review by Kristi
    An easy to read, well-researched and cited book that opens up the cross-cultural flood traditions! Lots of details about the different culture traditions, focused on the truth of Scripture and lovely pictures. Wonderful addition to your library!!
    Great book that further validates the book of Genesis
    Review by Kathleen
    This book uses over 300 flood stories from the First Nations Peoples of North and South America to show that the book of Genesis is true. Native people were able to preserve so much of the early history of the world as it was passed down through their ancestors by storytelling.

    The only satisfactory explanation, in light of this vast body of evidence, is that the Flood actually happened, just as Genesis says it did.

    This is an amazing book. I highly recommend it to anyone who may need to answer the question “How do you know the Bible is true?”
    Great Resource.
    Review by Abbie
    ECHOES OF ARARAT
    This highly insightful, well laid out book explores the various flood stories. It is good for children and parents alike to understand that while we read the Bible the stories held within the cover are not isolated to the Christian faith and the Bible alone. In fact they are supported by various other texts, fables, stories, and legends in tribes, nations and people spread all over the Earth. This book offers an opportunity to see how the flood narrative is pervasive in every culture and how this narrative directs beliefs and thoughts about the Earth. The Bible is not simply a book of stories that can’t be substantiated by Science or Historical evidence. This amazing book offers a great way to explore the narrative of the flood and talk about the wonders of God with your children.
    Richly diverse and well referenced
    Review by JC
    Who knew that so many not-so-varied flood stories existed within the histories of each of the many cultures and tribes of the Americas? This is an insightful presentation of them with excellent citations. Clearly, a great deal of background research has been undertaken in the writing of this book. It is a fascinating read, with its rich cultural detail, its Bible-centredness, its straight-forward layout, and its helpful and attractive illustrations and photographs.
